Faarfannaa 82

1 Faarfannaa Asaaf. Waaqni, waldaa waaqotaa gidduu dhaabata; “waaqota” gidduuttis murtii kenna; akkanas jedha:

A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

2 “Isin hamma yoomiitti seera jalʼiftu? Hamma yoomiittis jalʼootaaf dhaabattu?

“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” (Selah)

3 Dadhabdootaa fi ijoollee abbaa hin qabneef murtii qajeelaa kennaa; mirga hiyyeeyyiitii fi cunqurfamtootaas eegsisaa.

“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

4 Warra dadhabaa fi rakkattoota baraaraa; harka jalʼootaatiis isaan baasaa.

Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

5 “Isaan homaa hin beekan; homaa illee hin hubatan. Isaan dukkana keessa jiraatu; hundeen lafaa hundinuu ni raafame.

They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 “Anis, ‘Isin, “waaqota;” hundi keessan ilmaan Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii ti’ jedheera.

I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

7 Taʼus isin akkuma namatti ni duutu; akkuma bulchitoota kamii iyyuu ni kuftu.”

Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”

8 Yaa Waaqi kaʼi; lafatti muri; sabni hundinuu kan keetiitii.

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
